I wrote aĀ new review paperĀ for the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology. It summarizes some the recent insights from the genomes of archaic humans (e.g., Neanderthals, Denisovans, etc.) within an anthropological framework. Specifically, I tried to answer the following questions:
- How have genomic data from archaic hominins changed our view of human evolution?
- Is there any doubt about whether introgression from ancient hominins to the ancestors of presentāday humans occurred?
- What is the current view of human evolutionary history from the genomics perspective?
- What is the impact of introgression on human phenotypes?
Love to read, but paywalled to me. Abstract is intriguing.
Thanks – I know. The stupid paywall is a giant bummer. If you send an email to me, I will be happy to send a pdf to you.
